Yet More Studio Business

My original plan for today was to pull a proof of my new block, but then I thought about it a bit.  The Robert Johnson print looks to be a good woodcut, but I have no immediate plans to exhibit it or sell it, so there is no deadline.  On the other hand, my St Dwynwen print has a potential collector.  So I'll get that one done first, then deal with the other. 

So today I brought the coloring stuff- all my recent watercolor purchases and the palettes I use, plus the tests made on paper and my samples.  Also brought a disc in case the day called for music, and since Molly wasn't there, I put it on.  My home burned Reverend Horton Heat collection, which you can read about in November of 2021.  After clearing my table of all the stuff I had stored on it, I got to work coloring the two prints I had stretched and taped last week.

As is my custom I started with warm and light colors, which today meant all the browns and neutrals.  So a lot of earth tones, a lot of quinacridones, a bit of titanium white.  Results are below:

This image has a lot of unpainted (paper colored) areas, so it didn't take long to do this, and all I have left is some intense red and blue, and those are small areas.   Next time maybe I do those and print the other block.  I'll probably need two discs for that.
